Sam Cooke is the owner of Blue Bricks Magazine, one of the UK's established property publications for investors and developers. He took over the business in 2022 after previously working as its marketing manager, bringing together a background in marketing, property, private equity and entrepreneurship.

Blue Bricks now reaches around 10,000 readers across the UK, but Sam's approach has never been about pretending property is easy. He's particularly interested in the stories behind the polished success stories: what went wrong, where deals lost money, and what investors could have done differently.

In this episode, Sam talks openly about his journey from estate agency and property sourcing to taking ownership of Blue Bricks, and why his view of the property industry changed once he started speaking to investors and developers behind the scenes.

Sam shares the reality of building a property business, the mistake he made when he first started sourcing, why property is a much slower game than many people online suggest, and the danger of constantly jumping from one "shiny penny" strategy to another.

Steven Morris is a developer and founder of Linfield Construction. He has spent decades on the delivery side of UK property starting as a bricklayer, moving into quantity surveying and commercial management, and eventually becoming Head of Commercial before setting up his own construction business. He's been involved in building 60+ units and has experienced both the opportunities and risks that come with delivering property projects.

In this episode, Steven shares the reality of construction costs, contractor margins, subcontractor pricing, abnormal costs, land values and the risks that can sit underneath an apparently profitable development appraisal.

He also explains what happened when one project went from around £190 per sq ft to £275 per sq ft, as well as the final Lynfield Construction project that left him with 22 staff, £150,000 a month in prelim costs and a business on the verge of administration.

Why do some people take action while others remain stuck even when they have access to the same information?

Ryan Pinnick is the CEO and founder of SuperGenius, a UK personal development business he launched in 2014. He went from being an engineer, to a property investor, to a Rich Dad organisation trainer and now runs a personal development company that’s generated more than £15M in revenue.

In this episode, Ryan talks about his journey from engineering into property, his experience as a speaker and trainer within the Rich Dad organisation, and what he learned from watching people receive the same education but achieve very different outcomes.

Ryan also explains why having a clear mission and purpose can make a difference, why money and passive income should be viewed as vehicles rather than the end goal, and how unconscious patterns can influence the decisions we make when we're trying to grow.

One bad lender can turn a perfectly good property deal into a problem. Here's why.

At the Property and Entrepreneur Summit, Saam Lowni sat down with Joel Bailey-Wilson, founder of Meta Mortgages with 7 years of industry experience. They get into why buy to let is no longer as straightforward as it once was, the decisions investors need to think about around limited company structures and refinancing, and why the lender behind your mortgage can matter just as much as the rate. Joel also shares what he's learned from building his own brokerage including the three things you need to build a successful business.

If you were choosing between a lower rate and a lender you trust would actually deliver, which would you take and why?
